High V College

Many people agree that a good education is an important quality to have in life. To achieve that good education, one must not only graduate from high school, but also from college. There are many similarities and differences between the two different educations. To compare and contrast them is almost unfair, because they are two completely different worlds, each with their own individual qualities. The differences are plenty, and in many ways they are also similar. From person to person, opinions will differ. Many believe it was the time of their lives, while others say it was a time to forget and learn from. Either way, high school is an experience in itself as well as College. High school is a period in which many new things happen. You now find yourself in a world full of raging hormones, honors classes, and in a way more freedom. High school is routine in a way. You have your eight or so classes year round, and you know when you will be eating lunch. The same kids you went to elementary and middle school with probably are the same kids you went to high school with. Basically, high school is much regimented, and many people find themselves having the same friends for many years. Because of this, in turn once a "reputation" or "image" was established for you in high school, most likely that was going to stick with you for the rest of your time left. The work in high school is not as hard as the work in college. Unless you are taking honors or AP courses, on the other hand one has more time to work on any assignment in class. Classes in high school are small in size, usually between twenty and thirty students, and there is a one on one feeling with the teacher. It is a laid back atmosphere because everyone knows each other.

Also in high school, many students find a way around the school easy. Countless students slack off and don't apply themselves to their work or studies. Because of this, many students find themselves doing new extracurricular activities,...

“Change is the end result of all true learning.”- Leo Buscaglia
High School and College both give the benefit of having students learn in a classroom. In high school and college, the main objective is to learn and become more knowledgeable.

Teachers in high school and college are similar to one another because they all have a passion for teaching, they are determined and will teach students what needs to be taught. However, they do have their differences. Dr. Drew Appleby states in the article “The Differences Between High School And College”, that “Teachers check your complete homework. Teachers remind you of your incomplete work” (2013). In high school, teachers seem to look out for their students. They will check a student’s homework and remind them of upcoming due dates. They are usually available before, during, and after class if there are any questions. While they are teaching they will write info on the board,...

They say high school life is better than college. These two institutions are very important level that people go through are high school and college. Even though some people think that these levels are almost the same, but there are some significant differences between them. The cost of high school is not the same as the cost of college. As well as social environment, facilities and other characteristics is differ from high school to college. That is why, High school and College are similar but have some differences in areas such as Expenses, Facilities, and Rules/Regulations.
First, in terms of cost, college is more expensive than high school because of tuition, living expenses, and books. Anyone who wishes to attend college must pay fees, whereas it is free to attend high school. The government provide funds in high schools, so high school students do not have to pay for their education. But somehow students in high school pays only for registration and miscellaneous. In addition to tuition, college students must also worry about for dormitory for living close to the college’s campus, while high school students have no living expenses because the majority of high school students live at home...

It is widely known that a good education is an indispensable and important quality to have in life. To achieve that good education, one must not only graduate from high school, but also from college. From the students standpoint of view there are similarities and differences between the two different educations. To compare and contrast them is quite out of place, because they are two completely different worlds, each with their own individual qualities. Nevertheless, there are differences as well as similarities among these two worlds. Hence, these educational institutions can be compared and contrasted with reference to teachers and classes as well. High school is considered to be a routine. High school teachers verbally explain what is expected throughout the duration of each semester in comparison with those in college. In other words, all of materials given to the students are precisely clarified, and everything is spoon-feed; students accurately know the teachers’ expectations. What is more, a teacher acts as a facilitator towards students; he or she helps them discover their own ways of learning, and improves students’ confidence and interest in learning process. As far as classes are concerned, in high school,...

...Education article states that only 34 percent of high-achieving high-school seniors in the bottom quarter of family income went to one of the 238 most selective colleges, compared with 78 percent of students from the top quarter (Markell). Certainly, these numbers show that students that come from low income families aren’t getting the opportunities that they deserve. With college costs going nowhere but up, students from low-income families face tough decisions. Some students choose to attend community college while some make the decision to take out additional loans. There are also those who choose to drop out because they can no longer sustain the cost of college. Those who don’t have the money to go to a selective college are often not reaching their full potential. Therefore, college cost should be lowered so that more people can have the opportunity to get higher education.
Such a push is needed; firstly, due to the continuous rise in tuition, higher education is becoming less and less affordable for low-income students. According to the Journal of College Admission, from 1982 to 2007, college tuition and fees increased by 439 percent, while median family income increased by 147 percent. Last year, the net cost at four-year public universities amounted to 28 percent of median family income, while a four-year private...

Is the cost of college too high?
100 % of the people in the world will like to go to college but only 1% of people in the world can go
to college because the rest cant afford it, due to the expense.
Many countries have the benefit to help students and so far only 3 countries in the world offered a free
education and those are Sweden, Ireland and Finland.
Nowdays, the cost of college is out of control the average kid or jonger adult who want to go to
school unfornately you cant affort it, because is too much and the amount of money you can make with
out having a college degree is very low and is not enough to pay the tuition, fees, books and the housing
which in most cases children end living with their parents due to their income.
If students are lucky enough to have the money to go to college it can still be difficult for them to get a
job if they are up against a student who went to a higher priced college. Quality can be confused with
cost.
Why don’t colleges charge everyone the same rate? Why does it matter what state you are from? Or
what country? Books cost the same. Desks cost the same. It costs the same for lights and heat no
matter where you are from. Those 3 questions are very valuable because...

High School vs College
Having a good education is the key to becoming successful in life. It is a proven fact. This achievement requires not only graduating from high school, but also from college. Moving from high school to college may be an exciting transition, but it is also a very difficult one. It is a challenge that the student will struggle with and eventually adjust to over time. Although there are many differences between high school and college, one should not think that they are tow completely different worlds. They have their similarities, too.
Being a college student requires a lot of responsibility, lots more than is required in high school. In college you won’t have your teacher to remind you of a test coming up or to do your homework. They give you a syllabus with all the due dates on it and expect you to go by it. Also, you’re mom isn’t with you in college to make sure you are awake and ready for class in time either. All of this, my friend, is up to you. The first few weeks of college, I slept in and missed my 8 o’clock chemistry lab class. In high school my mom always made sure I was awake and ready for school.
College also has fewer rules than...

...High School vs. College
As we go on in life we face many challenges and new situations that we deal with. A new situation that most people deal with is college and all the changes that come along with it. What many people don't realize is that high school, in many ways, is similar and differrent from college. Not only are people changing but the surroundings and work change as well. There are some things that seem to never change such as some work and people.
The majority of the work in college is very similar to high school. An example would be the Critical Thinking homework. In that class you have to re-write a sentence that is not proper and make it correct in high school I had to do the same thing in my English class. The papers are also similar; in high school I would have to write papers all the time just like in college. In World Culture class you have to answer questions throughout the book. In high school you had to do the same; you would have to read through the book and answer questions.
The biggest difference from high school to college is the responsibility level that you take on. When you're in high school teachers tend to watch over what you do and chase you down for an assignment you didn't do.1 College is different; the only person...

...Upon attending college for a semester and a half, I have found that I enjoy being a college student more than being a high school student. In the time that i have been in college, I have seen that more freedom is allowed to students in college than in high school. Such choices as the note taking, the environment, or class selection are a few examples of how college is less restrictive than high school. Because of the educational freedom and having more control over my education, I find being a college student more enjoyable than being a high school student.
In high school, the classes that students take appear to be easy. They seem easy because when a person is in high school, he/she can just brush effects off. For example, if someone does not pay attention and does not do anything for the entire class period, he/she can copy someone else's notes and still learn the material because they have that class five days a week. Another reason high school classes give the impression of being easy is because a person can miss school/class, not get penalized, and most of the time the teacher will go over the material the student had missed.
